I have followed your blog for several years. It is fascinating. As a woman I could never live in SA but kudos to you. And thank you for sharing your experiences. Anyway I saw this article in Foreign Policy and thought you might find it interesting... http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2014/10/29/questioning_the_faith_in_the_cradle_of_islam_wahhabi_fundamentalism_saudi_arabia?utm_content=buffera7289&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=bufferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569425364802315563.post-20881589248010592342014-10-13T23:24:56.418+03:002014-10-13T23:24:56.418+03:00You know, you are talking about an 11 year old chi...You know, you are talking about an 11 year old child here - you do realize that, right?

A child is a headscarf s no longer a child, but a woman in their eyes. However, the child beauty pageants in America are the other side of the coin - also sexualising young girls to look like adolescent sexpots. For one brief century, female children were allowed to be children, the western media and fashion designers sexualise 5 & 6 year olds - look at the rise of sexual abuse crimes against children. No culture is immune from this vice of falsely perceiving young females as sex objects. How can this vile attitude be changed from all cultures, not only those of the ME?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569425364802315563.post-30483518136929292652014-10-03T16:41:12.729+03:002014-10-03T16:41:12.729+03:00Oh dear - what a terrible and ultimately tragic at...Oh dear - what a terrible and ultimately tragic attitude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569425364802315563.post-19771472813224719312014-10-03T03:14:38.812+03:002014-10-03T03:14:38.812+03:00Sad ..Nothing to do with Islam or culture, its pur...Sad ..Nothing to do with Islam or culture, its pure lack of humanity..Big time disaster...They easily forget that, they have/may have daughter, sister, mother or grandmother.

This girl could have been 6 years old and the reaction would have been the same. It all originates from what these men were taught at a young age, watching their sisters grow up and the cultural restrictions on their mothers. I mean women can't even enter a fast food place or restaurant unless there is a family entrance. This is CULTURAL and not ISLAMIC behaviour and this is how the Kingdom controls it's society.
